Context

Administrative/Biographical history:

This material contains an unbroken set of minutes of the London Teachers Association, formed in 1932 and known as the "County Association of the National Union of Teachers (NUT) for London." They contain members explicit views on the expansion of post-war secondary education, the development of comprehensive education, as well as routine union business. There are also documents relating to the career of teacher, William Pratt Anderson, son of the founder of the N.U.T. Included also are 2 volumes of minutes of the Middlesex Teachers Association, (see ACC/916 for a larger number of MTA minutes, reports and policy files 1946-1963).

The LTA lost its local authority in 1966 and was amalgamated into the NUT. The national union then ran its affairs with representation from London members and the Middlesex and Essex Associations, also known as the Extra-Metropolitan Associations.
